Riso Art. A Creative's Guide to Mastering Risography

In recent years, risography has captured the attention of printers and artists, especially in independent and self-publishing circles, given the technical and visual qualities it offers. Vivid spot colors, warm finishes and occasional imperfections in uniformity and register are some of these attractive features. The book begins by giving readers a brief history of the Risograph while outlining the basic principles of the printing process, teaching them artistic printing techniques that will allow them to print with brighter, more expressive colors. With profiles of notable printers, examples of printed products and works from contributing print shops and information about design studios and artists from around the world, the book will broaden readers’ printing horizons and illustrate the extensive variety of possibilities offered by this relatively easy-to-use and fascinating technique.
